I am starting with API's automation testing and I have a doubt: I am validating a method POST of a Restfull API, and when I do a POST the API return some content, but some of the fields of the content changes in every request per example the ID.

I am using a file for assert the response body, but I would like to know:

1) Is there anyway of using hamcrest to ignore some fields for assert while I am using a file with all the fields?

2) Is there a better way to do what I want?

My code:

import java.io.File;

import java.util.HashMap;

import java.util.Map;



import org.junit.Test;



import io.restassured.RestAssured;

import io.restassured.path.json.JsonPath;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.equalTo;



public class APICriaContatoTests {



/*VARIAVEIS PARA A REQUEST*/



@Test

public void insereInformandoTodosOsDados()

{

    JsonPath expectedJson = new JsonPath(new File("arquivos\jsonInsereInformandoTodosOsDados.json"));



    //Criando dados para a requisição



    jsonAsMap.put("name", "Teste de Nome 4");

    jsonAsMap.put("last-name", "Nome Completo 4");

    jsonAsMap.put("email", "abc14@emailfake.com");

    jsonAsMap.put("age", "25");

    jsonAsMap.put("phone", "5519864666664");

    jsonAsMap.put("address", "Rua 4");

    jsonAsMap.put("state", "Estado 4");

    jsonAsMap.put("city", "Cidade 4");



    //executando a requisicao



    RestAssured.given().accept(ACCEPT).contentType(TYPE)

    .body(jsonAsMap)

    .when()

    .post(ENDPOINT_POST_CRIA_CONTATOS)

    .then()

    .statusCode(201)

    .body("", equalTo(expectedJson.getMap("")));

}

}

The data of the file that I am using for assert my response body

{

  "data": {

    "id": "12",

    "type": "contacts",

    "attributes": {

  "name": "Teste de Nome 4",

  "last-name": "Nome Completo 4",

  "email": "abc14@emailfake.com",

  "age": 25,

  "phone": "5519864666664",

  "address": "Rua 4",

  "state": "Estado 4",

  "city": "Cidade 4"

    }

  }

}
